Character Wins i'm the End.

"Character is everything" said an
American statesman, when dying, and
glancing back over an eventfuI life.
"He that OvercOmeth shall inherit all
things" it is an eternal law.
A paper passing under our eye
brings an illustration Of the truth
before us in a pleasing manner.
"Shine. sir?"
And a bright, manipulating lad OF
nine summers stepped up to a gentle
man in the Grand Central Depot, New
York, and casting his large brown eyes
up into his face, asked, "Shlne, SIR"
Il want my shoes polished, said the
gentleman.
"Then, [ would be glad to shine
them, SIR" replied the boy.
"Have l time to catch the Balti-
more and Ohio train?"
"No time to lose, sir. | can give
you a good Job before it pulls out"
Certain of it,"

eyes"
And in a pair OF seconds the boot
black was down on his knees, and
placing his box in operation was at
work.
Don't let me get left," said thegen-
tleman.
81 won't, sir" replied the boy, as
he piled both brushes with rapldlty.
whats your name?"
Paul Fay"
as your father living?"
"No, sir, he is dead-no one but
mother, | and the children. The
train is going sir"
The gentleman reached his hand IN
his pocket, and drawing out a silver
dollar handed it to the boy, who pull
led out lot OF change, and began to
count out the correct amount. The
gentleman moved off toward the train
fearing, he woul get left, and before the
little fellow could get to him the train
pulled out.
Two years later the same gentle
man was called to New York on busl-
ness. He had forgotten the little
bootblack and his forty-tive cents
change.
AS he wandered up the street the
second day after his arrival. he was
approached by q lad who said:
"Were you ever here before?"
eyes, buby," was the reply.
"When?" the boy asked.
"About two years ago"
'Didn't ] shine your shoes at the
Grand Central Depot?"
"Some boy did"
":Well, | am the boy sir and | owe
you forty-fve cents. tried to gat to
the train, but | couldn't-h onestly !
couldn't-and here is your money
was afraid | would never see you
again. Ididn't intend to keep your
money!" and saying this, the boy
pulled out lot OF change, and taking
forty-fve cents, prOffered it to the
gentleman.
The letter-written in Atlanta, Ga,
relates the above incident with its
pleasant sequel, mentions the recent
death of Mr., one of the most up
right and honored citizens OF that
city. He was the boy who many
wears ago blaclled the New York gen.
tlemen's boots at the Grand Cen
traP-ard returned the change"
The fact that the New York gentle
man was so pleased with little Paul
that he adopted him and educated
him, only adds q circumstance to the
biography of q boy who probably
would have grown up q good man
without the aid of wealthy friends.
One act of simple integrity illustrated
his character-and his sacrifice to
principle was gain, here and eternal.

Senator G. X. Davis In the Senate.

. New York SUMS Washington Special:
fhe sociable mIlionaires who met at noon
every day in their club room at the senate
end OF the capitol had with them the first
they have met of the new crop OF senator's.
Several of them thought at first it was Gen.
Butler, and the doorkeepers began to won
der how they had let the old gentleman
slip in, seeing he is not entitled to the floor
of the senate since he enjoyed the ex .otficio
right as governor OF Massachusetts. The
man who was mistaken for Gen. Butler
was Gov. Davis, the new senator
elect from Minnesota, q much young
err man than the old warrior but
almost his exact counterpart in
appearance. Gov. Davis has been in New
York for week consulting oculists in re-
gard to his left eye, which was severely
strained during last falls campaign, and
temporarily lost it's sight. Gov. Davis sat
at the desk OF his future colleague, Senator
Sabin and by him and by Senator Spoon
er who has been lifelong friend, he. was
introduced to one after the other OF the
senators.

Gen Bragg has achieved another victory
over Delaney, who was United States dis
trict attorney in Wisconsin. Gen. Buffers
method OF disposing of troublesome per-
sons in his district was to ask that they
might be given a consulate in hot place.
Gen. Bragg has adopted the opposite poll
cy and asked that his ancient enemy be
sent to a cold place. At all events Delaney
was nominated collector OF customs in
Alaska. The emoluments are not great
and it is a long distance from Bragg's dis
trict
There are to be several important
changes in the cabinet. Carlisle will

and Lamont will succeed Villas. The lat

An old soldier recently talked to a

Is frequently the exclamation Of one lady
to another. The fact is not a pleasant
one to have mentioned, but still the act
may be a kindly one for it sets the one
addressed to thinking, apprises her OF the
TACT that she is not in good health, and
leads her to seek reason therefor. Pal
Tor is almost always attendant upon the
first stages of consumption. The system

Gen. Lowery-God bless his soul
tried to do something for us. He
had some shoemakers, and at
night would make the soldier re-
port at his headquarters, where the
shoe-shop would be located. Green

were used for shoemaking. A sol
der would plant his foot on the hairy
side OF the hide and the shoemaker
would cut out a round piece of skin,
split it in various directions, and with
q coarse Irvine gather up the ends and
literally sew the foot up i'll the raw
hide with the skin inward. The shoes
were good for about twenty-four
hours use, and then they would draw
our feet and we would have to cast
them aside and go back to the bag,
